Colin and I had made all kinds of grandeur plans for spending New Years Eve 2009 with a bunch of strangers, but after being at work all day with a bunch of asshole strangers and having one of the busiest dinner rushes I’ve ever experienced, we ended up opting for a mellow night at his house instead.
We started the night off eating at Red Lobster, where I had stuffed flounder and Colin had grilled shrimp. Our waitress was really great, even though we came in pretty late. Thanks lady!
Then, we went back to his house, played a few rounds of Starcraft with his brother (what better a way to send off 2009!), and had champagne out of plastic cups with his family. Even though it was pretty tame, it was just a lot of fun spending time with him. We made plans for our date today (which will kick ASS) watched some Seinfield, trolled the internet, got shady, and fell asleep on the couch only to be awaken by extreme cold—the furnace had klunked out in the middle of the night—and we woke up to 30 degree indoor temperatures and his family scrambling around us.
Yup. That’s it.
In a few short hours, I’ll be shooting a rifle and maybe a shotgun (if I grow a pair), going ice skating, and being young and in love.
